Mariners hero tips more A-League glory

Star winger Fabio Ferreira hopes Central Coast’s winning start to their Hyundai A-League campaign is a sign of things to come this season.

The Mariners made the perfect start to the new season as they edged Perth Glory 3-2 in Gosford on Saturday.

New striker Roy O’Donovan opened his account in the first half before Richard Garcia equalised for the visitors before the break.

But Ferreira capped a superb individual performance by converting two second half penalties to ice the result for Tony Walmsley’s side, before Gyorgy Sandor got a consolation for Glory in stoppage time.
